Probably the group names list will be updated after a while by
some means other than `nnml-retrieve-groups'.  It's no more than
my vaguely guess, though.

OTOH, I verified that the `mail-source' group parameter[1] works
(as Michael intended, probably) and the existence of
`nnml-retrieve-groups' is unrelated to it to work.  So, I'll
delete `nnml-retrieve-groups' later[2].

[1] The `(group)' source is required in `mail-sources'.
    cf. (info "(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers")
[2] I want to add the urls of these threads to the commit log
    for the future reference.  However, the Gmane web interface
    seems down now.
